For the Parents: The Educational Power of Play
This isn't just fun; it's a powerful foundation for future success! Our curriculum is carefully designed to grow with your child, offering age- and skill-appropriate challenges for everyone from pre-K explorers (age 4) to middle-school innovators (age 15).
In this program, your child will master essential 21st-century skills:
- Computational Thinking: They'll learn to break down big problems into small, manageable steps—the core of coding and logic.
- Problem-Solving: Through trial and error, they'll debug code and redesign models, developing resilience and critical thinking.
- Team Building: Working in small groups, students practice communication, compromise, and collaboration to achieve a common goal.
Join us to spark their curiosity, build their confidence, and ignite a lifelong passion for STEM!
